An Important Lesson by Veteran for Peace George Mizo RIP +
An Important Lesson
You, my parents, taught me that it was wrong to kill
. . . except in war.
You, my church, taught me that it was wrong to kill
. . . except in war.
You, my teachers, taught me that it was wrong to kill
. . . except in war.
You, my government, taught me that it was wrong to kill
. . . except in war.
Then you sent me to war
And when I had no choice . . . except to kill,
Then you told me I was wrong!
And now I will tell you
. . . my parents,
. . . my church,
. . . my teachers,
. . . my government,
It is not wrong to kill
. . . except in war.
It is wrong to kill period!
And this you have to learn . . .
Just as I had to!
